The SOAR program is a multi-module eLearning curriculum covering Agility Recovery's sales methodology, product knowledge, and communication frameworks. Courses are built primarily in Articulate Rise, with select modules being developed in Articulate Storyline.
These courses have completed review and are considered final:
| Course | Notes |
|---|---|
| Agility Industry | Final |
| Advantage Products 1 | Final |
| Advantage Products 2 | Final |
| Testing | Final |
| The Story | Final |
| Vertical 1 | Final |
These courses have been updated and submitted to Gus Donelson for final approval in Review360:
| Course | Status |
|---|---|
| Vertical 2 | Changes made per prior feedback; navigation update applied |
| Advanced Communications (Presentation Communication Skills) | Awaiting first review from client |
| Post-Sale Follow-Up | Awaiting first review from client |
| Course | Status |
|---|---|
| Co-pilot | In development; to be sent for review after Dec 19 sync |
| Module 8 | In Storyline development (pilot — see below) |
| The Agility Way | Next in queue after pending approvals |
| The Six Pillars | Next in queue after pending approvals |
| Course | Notes |
|---|---|
| Prospect and Research | May be cut entirely; decision pending |
| Day in the Life (video) | Paused due to hybrid audience complexity |
The majority of the SOAR course suite is built in Articulate Rise. Rise provides a consistent, responsive layout and integrates with Review360 for client feedback.
Known Issue — "Continue" Button Bug: In some lessons, the Continue button fails to advance to the next lesson during Review360 preview. The button disappears but navigation does not trigger. This appears to be intermittent and may be a Review360 platform bug rather than a course authoring error. Workaround: delete and re-add the Continue block in affected lessons. This issue is distinct from the LMS exit button, which is a standard SCORM/LMS feature added at export.
Navigation Change Applied: Per client request, the side navigation no longer auto-expands all courses on load. This change was applied globally across all Rise modules.
Module 8 was selected as the Storyline pilot because it is less complex than other modules. Goals of the pilot:
Four additional courses are planned for Storyline development following the Module 8 pilot.
Finding customer-specific branded images (e.g., "California local government," "Gulf Coast regional bank") has been difficult because the Operations team's image library is largely unlabeled. Gus has obtained access to a new Operations image folder and is continuing the search.
Current approach: Placeholder images are visually acceptable for the initial launch. Specific customer imagery can be updated in a future revision cycle once better-labeled assets are available.
LMS Export: Courses will be exported as SCORM files. The LMS platform will add a standard exit button; this is separate from the in-course Continue navigation.
